Danny Gokey Leads Worship At The White House
On Tuesday, worship leaders brought Jesus to the White House through praise and song. Leaders were also seen praying for the nation together.
In several different videos posted online, worship leaders and Christian artists, including Danny Gokey and We are Messengers, gathered in the White House to praise Jesus. They were singing popular worship songs like “What a Beautiful Name,” and “How Great Is Our God.”
In one video clip posted to Twitter, worship leader and recording artist Tauren Wells lead the group in worship as they all sang “What a Beautiful Name.”
Tauren said, “What a privilege to declare the name of Jesus in worship and in prayer today at the White House. I was challenged, informed, convicted, & inspired at the #faithbriefing with many peers in the CCM industry. The church has a great opportunity to rise with grace & truth in this hour.”
Bethel Music’s Dominic Shahbon shared this about the day: “Wow. What a day. Had the honor to go the White House for a #FaithBriefing with key administration officials and faith leaders. Specifically, to hear about faith initiatives that are happening. Great things are taking place whether the media tells us or not! Let’s just say that I’m leaving Washington, D.C. stirred, hopeful, convicted and informed with TRUTH.”
Another Christian artist who posted about his experience at the White House was Matt Hammitt. Matt posted a photo to his Instagram account writing, “I witnessed a truly special moment today as our Christian music community shared a time of worship and prayer in the White House. #FaithBriefing”
Contemporary Christian band Citizen Way was also at the Faith Briefing, which according to Faithwire, aimed to update Faith leaders on faith-based initiatives that have been enacted under the Trump administration.
Citizen Way posted a video to Instagram of the group singing “How Great Is Our God,” and captioned it, “#faithbriefing Lifting up the name of our savior Jesus at the @whitehouse with so many key figures in our @ccmmag family - our servant leaders in faith based initiatives expressed the need for us to support their causes around the nation (they are biblically based causes) and the need for us to be vocal about the fact that our only hope for our salvation, our world, our country is in our savior Jesus (they encouraged us to basically keep doing what we’re doing as well haha). Sing with us! Thank you pastor @paulamichellewhite and @jonathancainmusic for your service. . . #jesussavesbro”
The gathering was organized by Pastor Paula White, the chair of President Trump’s faith advisory board who is a megachurch pastor from Florida. Her husband, former “Journey” keyboard player, Jonathan Cain, was also there.
Paula posted about the event on Instagram writing, “What an amazing day at The White House ... closed out with a time of worship and prayer! I wish everyone would come up and experience this! #realnews”
